Rising (web series)
Rising is a bipartisan online news show created by the Washington D.C. newspaper The Hill. The show is hosted by former congressional candidate and commentator Krystal Ball and conservative correspondent Saagar Enjeti.[1][2] The show features analysis of the day's news as well as interviews with politicians, campaign staff, and members of the political media. Panelists are frequently featured, weighing in on current political topics. The show is noted for its populist leanings and in-depth interviews and analysis.[3]
Rising was the first show launched on the Hill.tv website. It was announced in 2018, with the hiring of Krystal Ball and Jamal Simmons. Simmons was hired as an analyst for Rising pending the launch of his own show which became The Remedy.[4] Ball's initial co-host, Buck Sexton, was replaced by Saagar Enjeti in 2019.[5]
As of January 2020 The Hill has 204,000 subscribers on YouTube.[6] In December 2019, it was averaging 600,000 views per day.[7]
